SHE FLEW TO HER FIRST LOVE.
Pretty MISS vance sud denly
Changes Her Mind or the
Eve of Marriage.

A ST. Paul (Minn. special says The
exclusive circles of st. Paul are greatly
agitated over the rumored elopement
and marriage of Miss Carrie Vance,
who was reigning society fayorite here
last winter, with young Mr.. Bradley,
son of prominent banker Of. Louis
vile, Ky. Miss Vance came to st.
Paul last autumn and spent the win
ter in the city. She was handsome, vi
yacious, and the idol of the gilded
youth who were fortunate enough to
win her approving smile.
During her visit here she made the
acquaintance of a Mr.. Marshall, of
Milwaukee. Miss Vance received the
attentions Of Mr.. Marshall fayorably,
and the gossips say after a three
months courtship they became en-
gagged. Shortly after the close of the
carnival season, in company with her
affianced and several st. Paul friends,
Miss Vance returned to her home, in
New Albany, Ind. Mr.. Marshall gained
the sanction of her parents to their
marriage, and all arrangements were
completed for the nuptial ceremony to
take place late in the summer. Mr..
Marshall returned 10 his home in Mil
waukee.
Not long after his departure Miss
Vance renewed her acquaintance with
Mr.. Bradley, a popular young society
man of Louisville and prospective heir
to large fortune. The lady had known
Mr.. Bradley several years previously,
and it was rumored at one time that ne
had professed his love to her aud been
put of with an eyasive answer. Upon
meeting him recently Miss Vance is
said TO have forgotten her pledge 10
Marshall and fallen desperately in love
with her old suitor. Matters culmi-
mated quickly, and one day she made
trip across the river to Louisville and
repaired with Bradley TO the house of a
prominent minister, where they were
married. The bride returned at once
to her home in New Albany, and told
her parents of her newly-assumed ties.
The family reproved her severely for
her sudden change of heart, and Mr..
Marshall is said to have been notified OF
the event at once.

The Pound Party Of tho Little Sis
fers of the Poor.

To-day is the last day of the pound
party of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
So far it has not been anything like a
success. The bad weather has no doubt
prevented many charitable persons from
calling at the Home, corner of Main
and Harvie streets. Other persons have
on idea that the Little Sisters, having
realized a good sum from their last fair,
are not in need. This is erroneous.
The amount realized by the fair was
paid out within ten days thereafter, the
Sisters having contracted obligations in
building the chapel. 1t takes good
deal of provisions, clothes, &c, to en-
tertain the ninety old people in the
Home. These Sisters have surrendered
all earthly ties and devote their lives in
this good work-the care of the old
people. They ask the public to give
them a helping hand.
Those who cannot go to the Home
NAV leave their contributions at the
places designated for this purpose to-
day or any time next week.

A witness In the Railway Case Ar.

Times Of Friday.l

The investigation into the Railway
murder mystery was continued yester-
day by Coroner Terrill and jury. At
the rate at which the inquest is at pres

that it will last through the coming
week. Only three witnesses were ex-
amined at yesterdays hearing,
which consumed at least eight
hours. Coroner Terrill says there
are twenty witnesses yet to be
called, and the number keeps increas-
ing, for the testimony thus far given
has been prolific of new names, all of
which are duly noted down for sub
p9na. Coroner Terrill said yesterday
that lie was working on his own theory
of the case, which was that somebody
in or around Milton was concerned in
or knew something about the murder.

STEAMER WITHDRAWN.
The Company Unable TO Compete
with Water Lines.


The New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad Company have or
dered off their steamer Old Point
Comfort, plying on the James river tri-
weekly between Richmond and Cape
Charles, and it will not come to this
rolt again. The Phelton came up in
her stead last evening and will sail from
the company's wharf at Rockets at 81
o'clock this morning, bidding our city a
final adieu.
The reason assigned for the with
drawal is the company's inability under
the inter-State-commerce law TO com
pete with the water lines. They, as
required by this law, have posted in
their Office card of through and local
rates, the latter not to exceed the
former in any case. They claim that
having thus to put up their through
charges enables the steamboat COM
panies to give lower rates
for through freight and travel,
and thereby TO secure the bulk of the
business, leaving this company not
enough to do to warrant them in con-
tinuing the boat from here to Cape
Charles. This step would have been
taken earlier, but the officers hoped the
commission would so construe the law
as to afford them such relief as to en-
able them to continue their service on
the river and at least make expenses (;
but such has not been the case.
Until this law went into effect the
company did very satisfactory busi-
ness here and served the public very
acceptably The Old Point Comfort
has been on the river for about year,
and during all of the trouble which
travel encountered during the past win
ter on account of gorges, freezes, &C.,
il missed but one trip. The Office of
the company will be continued for
several DAYS in order that the business
may be settled up.

disposed of. Traps are constantly set
